morning bigdave-didn't realise you weren't one of us 'til I visited the Blackburn board earlier on my shift.
Doing nightshift is no excuse BTW to miss game-I finish here at 8 o'clock and back again at 8 tonight but I'll be at game(hope its exciting tho or I might doze off)

Lets hope Scumderland get fooked 3 times today - once by Spuds on the pitch and twice by Boro and Mido off it

One things for sure Ray, if Mido does end up at scumderland then the man has no integrity and he'll prove he is a mercenary - if that happens then its money saved - This is a test of the players word and integrity now as he has the power to say fook off to scumderland.

Big worry defensively today with Young out too, looks like our back 4 will be Taylor Wheater Riggott Davies - we'll maybe have to settle for a 2-1 win then

Ray, nothing about Boro my contact is with Man City and sometimes he gets stuff on Boro. There is a great deal about City but nothing on Boro. Lets just hope Mido is in the bag and Yak is staying. I do think we need some cover in the midfield and one more striker that can get goals for cover.

The England winger said: 'Maybe one day I'll move on, go to a bigger club. That would be good but I'm happy here at the moment. We're not going to spend £30million or £40m on a player but we can challenge the top clubs. It still means a lot to play for Middlesbrough.

"The bookies have us down to finish near the bottom? That's the bookies for you, isn't it? Have they ever played football? The bookies can say what they want. We don't have the money to spend like some of the top clubs do but I'm sure they are all looking at us and thinking: 'We wish we had their Academy and the youth coming through that they have'.

"Manchester United produced a crop of players. I know it was a long time ago but it always happens now and then. With a few experienced lads, a few buys and a few youngsters coming through, we could have a good group of lads."
